After the world-saving shaman Thrall was married, he did not even have time to enjoy his newlywed bliss before taking on a new duty: summoning Draenor, the Orcs' homeland that had become Outland, into Azeroth before repairing the World Pillar that Deathwing the Destroyer had shattered.
Once the World Pillar was repaired, Azeroth's world barrier would become far sturdier, and the task could no longer be accomplished.

The Titan Keepers obeyed Rend, Azeroth and Draenor's representative, without question. Since Rend had agreed, they supported it as well.
When Guardian Med'an gathered the Titan Keepers and the Dragon Aspects in Ulduar to discuss the matter,
Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen who usually seemed to play dead, and Ysera, the Green Dragon Queen, voiced fierce opposition.
"This is absolutely unacceptable! The wounds Deathwing inflicted have not yet healed. If that shattered world is brought into Azeroth, it will inflict even greater devastation upon our world.

If Outland's land descended into the Great Sea, Azeroth's sea level would rise enormously and flood low-lying regions.
"Lifebinder, your concerns are understandable. That
